AI Safety Fellowship applications are now open; apply before February 6th!
We host various programs and events exploring the fields of AI alignment and governance.
AI Safety Fellowship
AI Safety Fellowship
Overview
While AI systems become more powerful, our ability to understand, control and regulate these models remains limited. Participants will join weekly discussion groups on current challenges and solutions in ensuring AI is developed to the benefit of our future. By the end of the semester, fellows will have the opportunity to join an ML upskilling group or join AISI as a researcher to work on projects ranging from a technical workshop paper to a comparative policy analysis.
Who is this for?
Who is this for?
People with less than one hour of prior experience in AI safety who are technically or policy-oriented and are interested in exploring the challenges and risks of AI systems as a way to kickstart their career in the field.
AI Safety Fellowship is open to anyone interested in learning more about AI safety.
Tracks
Tracks
Technical Track
Technical Track
Exploring solutions to robustly aligning AI systems with human intentions and preventing catastrophic risks.
Fellows learn to answer questions such as:
How can we scientifically evaluate risks from models?
How can we efficiently implement oversight of models?
How can we ensure models are robust to adversarial inputs?
How can we develop mechanistic understandings of model behavior?
Apply here for the technical track by February 6th, 2026 11:59PM AOE. Check out the syllabus here.
Policy Track
Policy Track
Understanding the impacts of transformative AI and ensuring that systems are developed, deployed and regulated responsibly.
Fellows learn to answer questions such as:
How should we regulate frontier AI systems?
How can policymakers predict AI progress?
What impacts will transformative AI have on national security and geopolitics?
How do we ensure the benefits of AI are distributed democratically?
